Bug Description

Oem-config starts X and runs various programs at various times (e.g. hardware
test, end user config) but uses the default gnome theme instead of the default
ubuntu theme. It should use the human theme, especially for the end user config.

Note to self - the relevant gdm code seems to be:

                        gchar *theme_dir = gtk_rc_get_theme_dir ();
                        char *theme = g_strdup_printf ("%s/%s/gtk-2.0/gtkrc",
theme_dir, theme_name);
                        g_free (theme_dir);

                        if ( ! ve_string_empty (theme) &&
                             access (theme, R_OK) == 0)
                                gtk_rc_parse (theme);

Ideally, I'd work out how to configure this without hardcoding "Human", for the
benefit of derivative distributions who might not want that theme.

Couldn't the oem-config just read the gconf key /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme?

If you say so - I don't know much about gconf and will need to experiment. Thanks!

Just running gnome-settings-daemon will fix this.

oem-config (1.19) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Run gnome-settings-daemon so that we use the normal theme (LP: #23899).
  * Use zenity or kdialog if available to display oem-config-prepare's
    acknowledgement message (LP: #131309).

In Hardy Alpha 4 runs with the blue window title bar instead of the Human theme again.
